I have had trainers in the past and worked out regularly for as long as I can remember, but never received the results I am getting with Ashley! I love that Ashley has this 12 week program that gives you the option to continue on your own with or without monitoring. He is getting me to a great place. I felt a difference during week 2 and saw a difference during week 3 and continue to see more and more positive results. I like taking a picture of what I eat and sending it to Ashley for every meal and getting his "way to go!" or "take off the peas!" lol
My goal is to be in a new life style of eating at the end of 12 weeks and continue a monitoring program with Ashley. I know I am on my way. How do I know? I had a realtor conference to attend and Mellow Mushroom Pizza was on the agenda for lunch. My favorite pizza. I was not sure how I would feel seeing pizza and eating my "brown bag" lunch. While everyone had their yummy pizza, I kind of felt like a "geek" pulling out my grilled chicken on ezekial bread with mustard, but then I opened it and felt like, wow, I am really looking forward to this healthy lunch! I ate it and it was delicious and I was glad to be eating my healthy lunch over pizza. I knew then that I was on my way to a better eating life style.

At the end of my 12 week program, I am not sure If I will decide to go to 1 day a week or 2 days a month or do a full 12 week session every year, but I do know I will do what fits best for me and my busy life style. I will do whatever it takes to keep the healthy body that is making its way to the surface. Ashley allows this flexibility to happen! Thank you Ashley! At 57 years old I am now nearing a weight I had in my 30's. Not yet, but almost! Loving life! More...

If you are looking for a training gym, look no further. The staff is friendly and encouraging, the facilities are clean and up to date, and location is easy access. JD Porcelli is my trainer, and of course, I think he is the best!! Give them a shout- you’ll be glad you did. More...

I love DMF! I joined DMF the end of April trying to drop weight, learn to eat clean, build muscle and pick up some all around good habits. That’s where Nicole Van Orden comes into the picture. She has been so patient working with me and helping me learn to reuse some of my muscles that I felt I didn’t have any control over due to all the surgeries I went through for cancer. There just aren’t enough words to say how thankful I am to have her as my trainer. I’ve already lost 7lbs plus 10”. Slow and steady will help keep me on the right track. More...

I recently started training with Nicole. She is patient with me, yet encourages me to challenge myself to go beyond what I think I can do. I have trained in the past and she is by far the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. I highly recommend Nicole as a personal trainer. More...

I have worked out here for the past three years with JD and could not recommend him more. A good human, a great trainer. The people in this gym(employees and customers) are not only friendly but genuinely interested in helping you. I have never worked out so consistently before, and owe it to the faces within this gym.

As a pro golfer, I suffered a few injuries in my 2017 season requiring me to have surgery on my knee and injuring my wrist. I never knew how important resistance based training can be for my golfing career. Through working out with a DMF trainer I have not only rehab efficiently but I’m playing the game better and feel stronger than ever before. I’ve recently qualified to play in the PGA Canadian tour and can’t wait to conquer my season. Thank you DMF! More...

I am so Blessed to have Ashley and his angels Nicole, Marjorie, and Jessica in my life! Nicole has been my personal trainer for several months and she is INCREDIBLE! She genuinely cares about me and inspires me to be better each workout. She’s the only person that has been able to motivate me to get up at 4:30 am for a 5:00am workout. This is what Defining Moment Fitness embodies...

Ashley and the other trainers here possess something that I've discovered, while working in this industry for 8 years, to be very rare among personal trainers: compassion. If you want real results and not just another cookie cutter workout program, this is where you need to be. More...
